Why did japan start using kamikaze attacks?
The kamikaze was used by Japan because japan was losing the war and the kamikaze were their last hope.....Actually who said this other answer, you are wrong. Kamikae was used because if you were a japanese soldier, coming back alive to your home was dihonorble. So they woud show honor by comitting suicie nd bringning enemies down with them
If Truman had found a way to show Japanese leaders a demonstration of the bomb would the Japanese have surrendered?
It is unlikely the Janapese would have surrendered in this scenario. The Japanese had a nuclear bomb program of their own that they had adandoned earlier in the war, so were likely as aware of the power of the device as the Americans at that time. A demonstration would have had little effect on their desire or lack of it to continue the war.
Is World War 2 Japanese currency valuable?
Yes to a currency collector, an honest one. Antique currency is valuable to some collectors, but not to the general public. Show it to the public and collectors may want the currency. Are you a collector? To Japanese collectors it could be priceless? It is their history like U.S. confederacy bills is to american collectors. The condition of the bills is important, and the amount? The gadfly
Why did the Japanese show hatred by rapping women and children?
In the time of WWII the Japanese had a long held belief that their people group and society were superior to all other nations and people groups. This concept had been handed down from one generation to the next. When the Japanese imprisoned the British, American and Australian women those women were told they were inferior to the Japanese. They were told they were lower than dogs. So the Japanese men felt they could do whatever they wanted to the scum, lower than dogs POWs. The brutality was learned from the time they were young boys. Warrior training and concepts were ingrained in them. Think of it as a power trip to oppress lowlifes. Many Japanese people in Japan did not know their military conducted POW camps in this manner. Japan never signed the Geneva Convention document so they chose to run the POW camps any way they considered suitable.
Why was it so important for the US to beat Japanese at midway?
the US called it "island hopping" which was a strategy to invade Japanese occupied islands. Their strategy was to fire an artillery barrage on the island shores by naval ships and then land infantry/armour on the island. Once the island was taken, the US would leave back a handful of ships and men to defend the island until the war was over. They did this to every Japanese occupied island. It was a turning point in the war because the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour earlier in the war and now it's the island of Midway for the Americans to avenge the attack. The mission was to secure Pearl Harbour from the Japanese since Midway was in between P.H and Japan itself.
